Actually..Dad told me that the current Sears tractors are made by Electrolux...yeah..the vacuumi company...

Go figure...maybe he'* getting old and senile..

These days it wouldnt suprise me to find one owns the other. In another generation it will all be owned by one coglomerate anyway. GM has whored out many Divisions of it empire and wonder who really owns it now. Wouldnt it be cool if someone could tie it all together in an internet database to see where the dollars really trickle up too.
